Renard Doneskey, Ph.D., once received an interview from the CIA, but more information may only be shared in person. He loves to play the guitar, as well as compose music. Renard often writes music for the dramas he directs at Southwestern.

Outside the classroom, he enjoys watching documentaries on Netflix. Renard describes two documentaries he recently enjoyed as, "First, an excellent series on WWI based on the diaries of 14 people who lived through the war. Second, a documentary about Greenwich Village, New York in the 1960s, and the vast amount of folk music being produced by people in that area."
